It's not all that surprising that businesses have lied about the recyclability of plastics. What was *somewhat* of a surprise to me was ... just how far back that deceit goes: 1973.

Back in 1973, Exxon knew there would not be a cost effective way to recycle plastic.

@pluralistic's latest Pluralistic traces the lies from Exxon's early recycling campaign ads through Dow's promise to turn sneakers into playground surfaces: https://pluralistic.net/2020/09/14/they-knew/#doing-it-again

I've revamped the front page of the Fedi.Tips website, would appreciate feedback if possible:

➡️ https://fedi.tips

I've removed the Advanced and Basic categories as it was kind of arbitrary which one tips ended up in, and they were way too long and disorganised anyway. The links are now organised entirely by topic.

There's also a quick start guide at the very top that has just the most commonly-requested tips.

Hard to imagine how scary it must be being a minority or a Dem in the US, especially red states. Imagine leaving home & realising half of your neighbours hold intense hatred towards you or wish to rid your existence. Then on top of that, half also have guns. Reminiscent of a horror film.

Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes...

Small, large, circle, square, thin crust, thick crust, stuffed crust, extra toppings.

Tennessee gives trans youth 1 year to detransition. The state also banned drag performances

These cry bullies love to talk about the constitution. KK

The 14th Amendment

The Dilbert guy thinks he so smart but he really is a slow learning racist.

America doesn’t have a labor shortage. There is a living wage shortage, a hazard pay shortage, a child care shortage, a paid sick leave shortage, and a health care shortage.

Today I discovered my dad has been going to bookshops every day, buying two copies of my book Letters From Brenda on each visit, and then giving them to strangers in the street. That’s one of the most Dad things ever. God bless him.

Catholic Church: no meat on Fridays
Folks: Ok so no eggs for breakfast
CC: No, eggs are ok
F: But eggs are chicken
CC: Not until they hatch
F: So the thing, isn't the thing until it's born?
CC: That's correct... Um, no wait.

@flexghost white privilege at its peak. That bastard should be in court and jail.

Women won't date me because I'm a conservative
That's a great reason

As an economic migrant myself I can only say:

Nobody is illegal!
Refugees welcome!

And just to be super-clear here: I am glad, a bit proud even, how Ukrainian refugees were welcomed in Poland and other places in the EU. Our support for Ukrainian people must continue.

But it should not be limited to just Ukraine.

People freezing on the Polish-Belarussian border, or dying on rickety boats crossing the Mediterranean deserve our empathy and help just as much.

Honest to god, Kyle, you cannot dibs the last donut. #Funny #Humor #LOL #Humour

People washing up on Italian and Spanish beaches and dying in cold, dark Białowieża forests in Poland are not members of some barbaric horde trying to take down "Western civilization", steal your job, or hog the welfare system.

They are fellow human beings, with hopes and dreams, making the desperate decision to flee their homes, risk their lives, travel thousands of kilometers in hope of finding a chance to *survive*.

They are visible victims of a class war.

Damn you brain!
